Bio
I write in between paid work, cleaning the house, raising two children, maintaining a marriage, paying bills, eating, sleeping, etc. I have self-published a book of poems entitled, Stupid Poetry: The Ultimate Collection of Sublime and Ridiculous Poems. I write a weekly column for Castro Valley Patch where I ponder about life and other absurdities. I am also a recovering Starbucks addict. "Hi, My Name is Random Chick and I'm an addict." The first step. Check. Eleven to go.
